Actually, Charlie Green died in 1936 not 1931. He made his last recordings in 1932. as a member of Chick Webb's Orchestra. They were backing Louis Armstrong on a record date for Victor. Green solos on "Hobo, You Can't Ride This Train". The trombone soloist on the Henderson record of Fidgety Feet is Jimmy Harrison.

One of the classic early jazz recordings of Louis Armstrong with Fletcher Henderson. This sounds like an alternate take to the version I usually hear on lp. Armstrong's solo is slightly different and the trombone player adds a few notes in one place.
